To enter the competition, you need to write a 650-1,000 word feature on one of the 12 themes listed below.

The briefing page for each theme listed tells you more about the subject, giving background information on the theme, and guidance on writing about it and some initial links to help your research. This is the brief.

Make sure that you follow this brief. You can interpret the theme in whatever way you think fit, but should not veer off the subject or your entry will not be accepted.
